1. Has Gil Ofarim's case officially ended (in court)? Well....no. As of yesterday....he had still not yet paid the court costs (figured near 10,000 Euro). So the court still has a presence over him.
2. That 'Hart Aber Fair' show forum from Monday night? Well....it ended in a weird way....the co-host (Brigitte Büscher) who'd been the public reviewer of comments from people viewing the show....announced at the end that she was 'finished' and leaving. Based on the way it was done....I don't think she'd told the moderator (Louis Klamroth) of the plans before the show started.
Some criticism revolving around Klamroth? If you follow the show....he's been there a year and had some ups-and-downs.
A big deal? Hart aber Fair....I tended to rate as the number two forum show on German public TV (ZDF or ARD)....at least before Klamroth came along. The way he's covered some hot topics....hasn't gone well. I would imagine he's got a year to renovate things or be moved to some other task.
3. If you can find a WELT newspaper from yesterday....there's a fairly decent commentary by Don Alphonso, entitled: 'Get Rid of Problem Children'.
Main emphasis? Don't put up with woke German kids or their BS in the holiday season. You get emotional pleas from the stupid German juveniles for the Palestinians, demands to exclude right-wing relatives, condemnation chatter over white supremacy (Germans are supreme in this logic), and kids speaking up about their new diet plan....which means some type of non-meat meal or only accepting non-fat cookies/tarts.
What Don suggests....don't put up with it. Course, this puts grandma on the bad-person list and eliminates any conversation with 'Johan' or 'Emmy'. But it's a 'cancel-them' before they 'cancel-you' strategy.
4. This budget mess? There's a fair amount of talk going on about the Bundestag problem with the 2024 budget. Virtually no one believes the budget will be resolved between now and 1 January 2024....so a new idea has evolved. Some believe that as the new year begins....money will be spent at a much less rate (at least until the budget mess is fixed).
If the FDP says to exit and the coalition collapses? Well....no budget until after the election (figure six weeks minimum).
5. This business story with the Rene Benkos real estate problem will be a top story over the next two weeks. Two German insurance companies are heavily invested in the real estate firm, and as Benkos empire dissolves....the money for the two companies go with it. Billions of Euro involved.
6. WELT had a piece to suggest some type of talk between AfD (the right-wing party) and the CDU-CSU party. BS? Well....the vast majority of the CDU-CSU aren't agreeable to this. I don't see this idea evolving far.
